MONTREAL – The Oberfeld Family Campaign Fund for Alzheimer has donated $525,000 to the Jewish General Hospital’s (JGH) program for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

The generous donation included a $100,000 lead gift from the Oberfeld family itself.

“It is a worldwide emergency,” said Harley Oberfeld. “Not enough is being done to help researchers understand the disease or to improve access to treatment and support services, even as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are on track to reach epidemic proportions. We have to do something now, while there is still time.”
